Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Image Line FL Studio. Is this piece of audio software, released in 1997 under the Fruity Loops moniker, nothing but a meme daw or is actually superior to other programs like Apple Logic, Cubase, Ableton Live, Avid Pro Tools or Bitwig? Why does it trigger "real musicians" so much?

Thanks to the legend that is Gaz Williams, check out everything he does or I'll eat your cat:

"This is a mega-tutorial about how to program the Krell sound from the 1956 film "Forbidden Planet" on a Waldorf Blofeld. You should expect heavy use of modulation and modifiers. But first, we are going to have a look on the history of the Krell patch. Then we start programming with the help of my "Blofeld Modifier Simulator".

Attention! My sorry, I forgot to set the sustain to 65 in envelope 4 :(

[demo] 10 Minutes of Krell Patch (Blofeld)

"This is a demonstration of a self-playing eternal patch, programmed on a Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer. A lot of modulations and modifiers were used. There was no external post-processing and no external effects were applied. The hands were off the unit and the keyboard, though the arp is playing very slow and long 'notes'.

'Krell' is an alien species from the film "Forbidden Planet" (1956). The soundtrack for these creatures was composed by Louis and Bebe Barron and very popular among modularists. It's a good example for an aleatoric patch - a sound playing with the help of randomness."
